Used to work in Madden until they fixed that bug.

Does perception matter? I argue no. Then again, I'm of the firm opinion that the entire accounting industry is basically just a shell game of book cooking anyway so there's that too.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. If you were in that seat you'd be thinking self preservation too.

It's not "gaining" anything. The value of the pick is devalued because the return is not immediate and there's the uncertainty of where the pick will fall within the round. That doesn't mean that it gains real value like a bond maturing.

No he doesn't but very few in the history of the NFL do. He's #5 on the NFL's all-time sack leaders list for a reason.

And a great way to end up banned for continuing to drag Tinderbox topics out of the Tinderbox.

That's just how it works in the Not For Long league.

That's just not how grading assets in the NFL works. Not when one bad season can get your butt fired as a coach or GM Outside of a small handful of truly entrenched guys. And how are draft picks going to "appreciate"? We aren't talking about stocks or bonds here. Scott Fitterer isn't trading one of if not his absolute best roster asset for picks he might never get to make. Nor should he.

I guarantee you the guys with size concerns (like CMC) step onto that combine scale so tanked up with water they're about to both puke and piss themselves.

Are we pretending Wilks isn't a retread? If Tepper can't land a top candidate then I hate to say it but we're fuged. It basically means guys with other options don't wanna work for him.

You gotta make a call. He's the guy or he isn't. You can't get playing hot potato with head coaches year after year.

He has the rest of this season. Plenty of football left to play for him to show he can be the guy or possibly crash and burn. No need to make any decisions now.

Yeah, but if I'm the Eagles I'd rather have Quinn and part with a 4th vs. have Burns and part with two 1sts.

If you could wave a magic wand and make young 3" taller and 30 pounds heavier then he'd basically be a perfect prospect for the modern NFL. Unfortunately you can't I suspect the very legitimate size concerns will lead to his evaluations varying wildly from team to team.

To be fair, I should've said "were". I highly doubt they still are after reading for Robert Quinn.

No. Not "a team". The defending Super Bowl champs. The Eagles are also hard after him. This is what good organizations do. They use bad organizations basically like minor league feeder teams. The Seahawks overpaid for Adams because they had dreams of the Legion of Boom dancing in their heads. All I'm saying here is we shouldn't be trading elite talent at premium positions because we're drunk on draft picks. We have pure junk on the edges minus Burns. Who knows how much draft capital you'll have to "burn" through trying to fix that.

The Seahawks haven't been a very well ran organization for awhile now. Trading two firsts for an in the box safety is a lot different than reading two firsts for a young edge rusher to pair with Aaron Donald.

Both. NFL teams are throwing us prime time offers because Burns is a prime time talent. Burns has a Panthers problem. The Panthers don't have a Burns problem.

What are your odds of replacing Burns? There's a reason a better team is offering those picks. And there's a reason why the Rams have a recent SB victory while we've been wallowing around in the muck of the dredges of the NFL.

I think Stroud is a damn good college QB and a legit NFL prospect but I still think Justin Fields was the much better OSU QB prospect.

I'd put Clemson right there too. There's a reason why they make up 3/4s of the playoffs pretty much every year.

100% agreed with this. It's the Jimmy's and the Joe's not the Xs and the Os.

I don't give a rat's ass about OSU but @TheCasillas is DEFINITELY a hater.

Can't help that Rattler fell apart and the NFL badly missed their evaluation of Howell.
